hello... you mention Ealisay you have my attention. I'm intruiged please tell me more. So maybe some of the uncommon questions for her? 2, 7, 28, aaaand F? ^^

scream ty!! I miss her so bad, I didn't realize until you asked for her lol. she might be due for a replay, I love her v much

2. How easy is it for your character to laugh?

very easy! Ealisay is a pretty jovial person by nature, so it's honestly more OOC for her to not be laughing easily. she loves puns, jokes, and playing pranks with Sera.

7. What triggers nostalgia for them, most often? Do they enjoy that feeling?

anything that reminds her of Ostwick, or the Trevelyan family in general. so obviously any mention of the former, or dealing with dignitaries in general. it's... not always the nicest nostalgia? Ealisay has tricky feelings about her family - she doesn't hate them by any means, but she's the youngest and nowhere close to inheriting any major titles, so she never got the attention that her siblings did. being shuffled off to the Chantry to train as a templar didn't help much, either. very much always a mixed feeling for her.

Josie's office also triggers that nostalgia, but in a purely nice way, since she and Josie are good friends. it's hard to feel bad when Josie's around, lbr.

28. Would they prefer a lie over an unpleasant truth?

okay I kinda love this question bc I didn't know what to say at first, but then I thought about it and !!!!!!! anyway! so Ealisay is a noblewoman from Ostwick who then received a big education from the Chantry + training to become a templar. as far as I'm concerned, one w that background would be dealing w largely lies over unpleasant truths, yeah? rich people + a corrupt religious organization. so that's what Ealisay is most familiar with, and probably what her knee-jerk reply would be? sweet lies over unpleasant truths keep the world turning.

however, her actions point in the opposite direction more often than not. Ealisay was sent to Kirkwall during Act 3 to finish her templar training, and she got to see the nightmare conditions that the mages were living in under Meredith's rule first-hand. and she hated it. Ealisay is Andrastian, and everything about what she believed clashed so hard with what she saw. when Meredith called for the annulment, Ealisay was one of the templars to say that what was happening was wrong, and deserted her post. so I, Sierra, would say otherwise from Ealisay's answer: she'll face the unpleasant truths and say if she thinks something is wrong or not, as opposed to others from her background who keep it going with sweet lies. her choices as the Inquisitor are similar - she freely allies with the mages because she believes they deserve freedom and equality the same as anybody, and she chose Briala to ally with because of how horribly the elves were treated in Orlais. it's easier to stick with the sweet lies and the status quo, but Ealisay's not the type to do that if it means people get hurt.

F) What do you feel when you think of your OC (pride, excitement, frustration, etc)?

can I offer you a nice meme in this trying time?
